How To Install Dash To Dock?

To get Dash To Dock, you can follow two methods: either using Chrome extension or through the command line.

For the first method, install the GNOME Shell integration extension from Chrom web Store. You can also install it from the terminal by following the official instructions for your specific Linux distribution.

Then, as usual, go to GNOME Extensions Website, search for Dash to Dock and click on the top right corner button “OFF” to enable the extension.

Once you switch on, it will prompt you to install the extension. Click on install and within a minute you’ll see your default dock out of the overview on the left side. Now, you can change its settings and position using the GNOME Tweak tool.

The second method involves installation manually from source by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock.git
cd dash-to-dock
make
make install

Once the command finishes, reload the Shell using Alt+F2 r Enter or restart your system to enable the extension.
